A deep test is "to be made of the well Molter and others are drilling ion the Moyer. -Bouth of Latham. in section 26-29-7, according to an an nouncement this morning by' Thomas drilling contractor, The six-Inch casing has been set at 2,936. feet and the tools are down about 2,960. A decision to make a deep test was reached yesterday.

The well is being flfllled by Hugh Faulders, who said is morning the tools are down about NEEDLESS LOSS OF LIFE NEW YORK Babies who were too young to realize danger, and old men who couldn't move quickly enough to avoid it, swelled the total of accidental deaths to 3,483 in New York city last year, health department reports reveal.

This represents a decrease of 400 from the accidental deaths of 1919 NOnly 987 of the. victims were females, while 2,496 were males. Even among Infants the death rate for males was by far the higher, probably, ac- cording to the health office, because boy babies often come to grief through lnquisitiveness and a natural tendency to seek adventure. "The most important cause of ao -cidental death rom a numerical standpoint' is the automobile," the report continues. Last year 849 persons were killed In this city as the result of automobile accidents.

This is equivalent to a ration of almost 15 per 100,000 of population and represents a net increase of one per 100 since 1919. Needless Loss of Life "We must not lose sight, however of the fact that the number of fatal street accidents has not kept pace with -the increase inthe number of vehicles using the streets. If the same ratio between accidents and vehicles obtained today as in preyiour years, the fatalities would be many times greater, so that in reality a big saving in life has been effected through regulation of traffic and the closing of streets for play during certain hours of' the day." Almost 12 persons per 100,000, numbering 684, died in says: the report; 103 from scaffolds and building and 138 from fire escapes and. windows. "Certainly this was a needless loss of life," tbfe health department.

one-third of these deaths ac-curred among children under; fiv years of Iniother-wordsamong little children werev allowed to go pqt on fire; escapes or to lean out of -windows. "Surely this Indicates gross negligence and calls for active propaganda to educate parents not to permit little tots to engage in such hazardous forms of play." J.

English interests have failed recently in efforts to enlist the air of Germany's three largest airship constructors in the establishment and maintenance of an aerial service between England, Egypt.

India and Australia, under British auspices, according to Director Johann Schuette of the Schuette-Lanz works. Herr Schu ette has recently returned from the United States' after concluding nego tiations for the founding of a German-American company to conduct a Euro pean-American air line. The director intimated that the English project was launched in an attempt to divert the close connections which now have been established between American; and German undertakings and to substitute for them a British leadership in airship construction "which, does not exist," he says. According to Herr Schuette, British interests made proposals to three German companies looking to co-operative construction, but in each- case" the offer was declined. Herr Schuette 'divined in the" project an effort to reap the advantages of Germany's experience in airship with the object of ultimately taking over the German leadership in this He declared its frustration signified the impracticability of the entire plan.

Asserting the English builders have repeatedly failed to product satisfactory results, he declared the English now have attheir disposal only two serviceable Zeppelins built for use In the war, and that the; cell bodies of these are no longer trustworthy. -These, he said, would not suffice even for a service between England and Egypt. Herr Schuette said that 'Americans have had their eyes opened "by the fate of the R-38, and that they will now force a way for world advantages to accrue from the German Industry which, despite the obstacles of the Versailles treaty, has built 80 first-class Zepi3 and 20 Schuette-Lanz ships. 109' SLUMP ON HOGS TOP PRICE $8.60 Local Buyers Follow Lead of Eastern Packers Taking Quarter off Hog Market, FJEW CATTLE OFFERED BECEirXS OF LIVESTOCK Cattle Friday 65 Week ago 145 Y'ear ago 58 Calve Friday 10 Week' ago 43 Year 'ago 13 Hogs Friday -'1061 Week ago 951 Year. ago 3 Friday 37 Week ago 26 Year ago 0 The cattle market was supplied with a light run of fresh arivals on Friday.

Veals featured the week with a 50 cent advance but display an undertone of weakness as the week draws to a close. Stockers have met with a very liberal country inquiry that re sulted in a fair clearance to outside points.

18. Timely showers and cooler temperature dispelling fear of damage to corn led to lower prices today for all grains. "Wheat closed unsettled at 2ie to 2ic net decline, with September 81.00 to Sl.OOty.. and December SI. 01 to 51.01 Corn lost 2c to 2 94c And oats Tic to lHc.

In provisions the outcome varied from VZViC decline to a rise of 2 Vic. Wheat was on he down-grade from the start. The breaking of the drought and the passing of the hot- wave led Jo general selling, especially as Liverpool quotations failed to reflect yesterday's advance here. Little power to rally was shown, final prices being near the lowest of the day. the only buying of consequence was attributed to Minneapolis mills.

Corn fields In Nebraska, Towa. Illinois and Indiana all received more or less rain and prices here broke sharply. Oats were dull and merely followed corn. Provisions averaged lower with grain and hogs. CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE Furnished by James E.

IS. The slow but steady absorption of stocks at constantly rising' prices continued in today's stock market which showed a tendency to break away from 'the restraint Imposed by pending labor troubles. Dealings totalled 650,000 shares. President Harding declaration to congress that the would use all its power to maintain transportation and the right of men to work was received In the financial community but lt had, no visible effect on prices.

Renewed activity In Liberty Issues combined with the creation of several new high records for the year In the railroad and Industrial lists featured today's fairly active dealings In bonds Bradstrect's Review NEW YORK, Aug.

18 Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: While the outlook for the future, both of trade and Industry, has changed for the better, owing to improved strlk6- settlement prospects, there is slight reflection of lt to be had of In the week's report as to current trade and Industry. The partial character of the coal settlement and the continued uncertainty 'in the railroad strike Is partly responsible. But In many lines the Improvement threatens to be slower than was the "growth of the species of slow business paralysis that has made Its effect increasingly visible since the rail way strike began. In this direction, indeed, the installation of the system of coal priorities may prove hurtful to some leading Industries, notably Iron and steel, which have suffered most from the uel shortage but which are low on the priority list, while helpful to the railways and household consumers of ooal, whose needs are soon likely to become urgent.

Ramsey-Lloyd have rig building- on Reiner 6-22-4. ftion 24-22-1 east In the Otoe Indian 1 country has been one of the most" In- teresting.thus far drilled in, thej entire northern Oklahoma district, arid that too with the final results still In doubt but With all Indications pointing to a fairly good teeing farther development in that immediate locality. Some oil men figure this test Is on the extreme edge of the structure and that good production'' will be found through additional tests.

Altogether the White Mule has had several showings- of oil and gas. It started out fairly early to leave the impression that it would be a producer and it has kept, this record until it has become the deepest producing hole in the state, If not in the entire Mid-Continent field. The test gets Its name from being located on White Mule The oil and gas showings were at 2050-65 feet, 3838-40 feet, 3920-40 feet, 4115-35 feet, 4180-85 feet, 4215-20 feet and the. final sand from which the well' is now producing at4476 feet, the first break in the Mississippi lime. Tools in the Hole; While at work on the test, several days ago, the tools were lost in the hole but these were recovered yesterday and it is expected that another shot will be given the sand today.

The last report obtainable on the production was also several days ago when the well sprayed 65 barrels in 24 hours. After the tools were recovered the work was" halted by cave-ins. The next shot will be the fourth administered since oil was struck in this test. The first show amounted to 5 quarts of nitrq and a small flow of oil resulted. This was just a week ago tonight.

The next day a shot of 10 quarts was administered and two flows resulted, one for about 4 minutes duration and the other for about 3. The next shot was for 15 quarts "and the spraying of 'the 62 barrels followed. The fourth shot, it is said, will be for 20 quarts. The gas pressure has. Increased with each successive shot.

The oil from this test Is going into a 1600-barrel tank. The citizens of Red Rock, which is the nearest town to the White Mule test are subscribing to a fund with which to build a good road from the town to the oil well. The Gypsy people have a considerable block of acreage in that locality, midway between Red Rock and Sumpter, and the Rice wildcat which Is to start drilling soon in section 6-23-2 east is about two miles north of the White Mule. Magnolia's Big Gasser TheXOtoe district got another big gasser yesterday when the Magnolia Petroleum company's No. 2 Diamond-Miller, in section 4-22-3 east encountered 27,000,000 cubic feet at 2595 feet.

This is Just off the Watchorn. town-site, which was opened the past week. It Is understood this will be held as a gasser for a time and then, drilled deeper. The Oklahoma Natural Gas company has a pipeline from that area to Oklahoma City. All the Alcorn Oil company's test3 are getting down to interesting depths, Including the Helen Barnes in 4-22-1 east drilling at 2150 feet, the Ramsey testiln 11-22-2 at 2236 feet, the Joseph Jeanns in 26-23-1 at 1536, the Donahoe in 20-22-2 at 1120 feet, arid the Dailey in 32-22-3 at 1690 feet.
